when the word tries you

WHEN THE WORD TRIES YOU
David was on his own caring for his father’s sheep contentedly when Samuel came with some word from God that he’ll be the king of Israel. After he was anointed the next thing that happened to him was afflictions and trials; Saul started seeking for his death, his brothers hated him, he began to live in caves, he became a wanted man not just in Israel but also in surrounding nations. Sometimes he had to pretend he was a mad man to survive, he had to live in shame and if he was someone like us, after waiting 7 years from the day God promised him the kingship of Israel, he would say, God, let’s forget this me being a king stuff, since the day you told me about it, things had only gotten worse for me. He would had also said to God, let’s disregard this throne stuff, I was better being a shepherd for me father, at least I wasn’t living in shame, pretending to be insane just to survive, and passing my nights in caves and living daily in the fear of death as my father’s shepherd boy. The word of the Lord was tried him
The story of Joseph was similar too, after God promised him greatness;, his brothers hated him, he was sold as a slave, he was resold as a slave, falsely accused and unjustly imprisoned, the person he helped in prison, forgot to help. He too would had said, God since you showed me that vision of greatness, it have been problems and trials here and there, my life was better without those visions of greatness. The word of the Lord tried him
You too might be facing great trials, disappointment and lack, but don’t worry, it’s because God’s word is trying you.
When God’s word you’ve claimed, that word would prove you till the time the word would come to pass. Not until the word had come to pass, your life would not look anywhere like what God has promised you
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.  Ps 105:19
When the word is proving you, don’t give up; don’t say, you prefer your life the way it was before the promise came. Keep declaring that promise of God over your life, faithful is He that has promised, and He’ll do it.
God bless you

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
